His Grammy thought he should be on Broadway.

For a day or two, there was golf.

And swimming in an Olympic size pool.

They even bought him an astronaut uniform.
Just in case.

The most serious consideration was a Ninja.

The least serious was a catalog model.
(Too much holding still.)

For all the fuss and nail biting though..

he already knew…
deep down…
all along…
what he wanted to be…

most of all:

SUPER DAD
to a little boy
who could be anything.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON!

Hint of Romance

“Here’s the thing on men—okay, I’m going to give it to you. All men think of themselves as kind of low-level superheroes in their own environment. When men are growing up and they’re reading about Batman, Spiderman, Superman, these aren’t fantasies, these are options. This is the way men really look at their own lives. I’m not even supposed to be telling you this.” ~Jerry Seinfeld

We sure consider him super round these parts! He lifts heavy objects (Bracken) and makes things fly (Bracken) and charms the ladies off their feet (mommy)! We’re lucky to have him! Thanks for posting this!

I’ve always marveled at Grant’s journey of self-discovery – he really was interested in EVERYTHING, and almost while we weren’t looking his boyish experimentation turned into remarkable talent, which he never quite seems to appreciate as anything more than boyish experimentation, which makes him one of the most delightful people I have ever known. Love you to death Grant,
Debbi

A romantic twist on married bliss…

Musings shares a three-decade-plus romance (if such a thing is possible) which has aged in the way lasting, lovely things do. In this latest chapter, we have just returned to the states after thirteen months abroad and are finally empty-nesters. Follow our trail if you consider yourself a romantic, or would like to be one. START with “Love Makes the World Go Round”.
